At Blackpool Sixth College, an outstanding provider of 16-19 education, we are seeking a dedicated and detail-oriented Examinations Officer to join our team. This is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in ensuring the smooth and efficient delivery of examinations within our thriving and highly successful college community. This is an exciting time to join us, as qualifications, examinations, and assessments are evolving rapidly, and advancing technology is reshaping how exams are delivered.

• overseeing the operational arrangements of an exam session, including organisation of exam papers, managing students arriving, supporting invigilators preparing for an exam, sending scripts to the awarding body,
• supervising the receipt of coursework from curriculum departments for submission to awarding bodies.
  
  Do you have strong organisational and time management skills? Do you have excellent interpersonal and communication skills? Do you have the ability to work effectively as part of a team and on your own initiative in a fast-paced environment? If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you!
